Ron Desantis’s “Weekend at Bernie’s president” joke at the RNC, like every other accusation from the GOP, was just more projection.

A DA will be a nice foil to the convicted felon.
Regarding ballot eligibility- I think part of timing for this is that the Dems are about to have their “roll call” in the next week or two to officially nominate a candidate to get on ballots before the official full convention.
The US healthcare system is completely broken unless you’re rich.
Multiple things can be true at the same time, though: people don’t take care of themselves and live very unhealthy sedentary lifestyles with awful diets.
So does Valve?
The docking adapters look pretty much the same (interlocking petals, not male/female) and can be active, passive, or both, but Dragon’s is only active. Active has to dock to passive, so two Dragons couldn’t dock.
SpaceX developed a new one that can be active or passive for Starship, which will have to dock with Orion and the Lunar Gateway.

Maybe? Soyuz is too cramped, but Dragon might be able to fit extra people. A few years ago a NASA astronaut flew up on a leaky Soyuz, so they looked at using Dragon as a lifeboat:

Dragon was drawn up to fit 7 people, with 3 seats on the bottom and 4 on top. They ended up changing the seat angles for reentry, so now they only have 4.

Starliner is still their emergency ride home in case a real alarm goes off, but they want to study the leak issue as much as possible before they separate their service module, which burns up during reentry.
This process led to Falcon, which is one of the most reliable rockets of all time. The launch rate and reuse are unprecedented. Iterative design is a big part of how they got there. Their prowess in manufacturing and mass production is another large part of that success.
It sounds like they still have some hope of bringing it back, so, fingers crossed.
It looks like more Venus probes will start launching over the next few years. There’s the Rocket Lab / MIT mission first, then more from the US, China, India, and Russia to close out the decade. Plus ESA’s next probe in 2032.
I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed
Milwaukeeans were already not going to be happy to deal with these people. If the event gets extra putschy now… uff da.
We’ve been trained to keep our expectations so, so low
I think Jared Isaacman is my favorite space billionaire? Not that that should be a thing, but he’s at least spending his money on private missions that move technology development forward.
Because it’s the only realistic option on a federal level until we have ranked choice voting.
So now they’ll threaten to move the teams to LA, right?
In 2018, right? When’s the 2nd launch supposed to be?
I hope so, but if they launch on the suborbital trajectory again because they aren’t certain about the Raptor relight for a deorbit burn, then I’m guessing a Starlink won’t be able to deploy and raise its orbit in time to not also reenter.
SpaceX, in a perfect world, just wants to be the railroad to facilitate others who want to build stations, bases, mining, recycling, etc.
As far as the greenness of rockets, recycling would be 5th in the 5 R’s:
Hubris. They were up in the polls at the time and didn’t think they needed to expand their appeal, so they caved and took Thiel’s guy.
